RustMonitor

Advanced Security Monitoring & Threat Detection System

A private security monitoring system built with Rust, currently used to protect and monitor Silverleaf's hosting infrastructure.

What is RustMonitor?

RustMonitor is a high-performance security monitoring system built in Rust that provides real-time analysis of web server logs and security events. It's designed to help system administrators and security professionals identify, track, and respond to potential threats across their infrastructure.

By parsing log files from web servers, fail2ban, and other security tools, RustMonitor creates a comprehensive picture of attack patterns and provides actionable intelligence about potential threats to your systems.

Core Features

Comprehensive security monitoring capabilities designed for modern infrastructure

Log File Analysis

Real-time parsing of web server logs (Apache, Nginx), fail2ban logs, and system logs to identify attack patterns and suspicious activities.

IP Enrichment

Gather additional intelligence about IP addresses including geolocation, ISP information, threat reputation, and historical attack data.

Attack Pattern Recognition

Identify common attack vectors including SQL injection attempts, XSS attacks, brute force attempts, and reconnaissance activities.

Multi-Server Management

Deploy across multiple servers with centralized management, allowing coordinated responses and unified threat visibility.

One-Click Actions

Execute security actions across your entire network infrastructure with single commands from the central control interface.

Real-Time Alerts

Immediate notifications for critical security events with customizable alert thresholds and multiple notification channels.

Built with Rust

RustMonitor leverages Rust's memory safety, performance, and concurrency features to provide a robust and efficient security monitoring solution. The system is designed to handle high-volume log processing with minimal resource overhead.
